Email showing text twice received from Windows Phone

I received a short mail (3 lines) from a Windows Phone. The text is shown in Jolla-Mail app twice with different font sizes. I asume one is the plain text and the other the html text.

When answering the mail only one text is quoted.

The mail contained following parts:

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"

... plain text ...

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/html; charset="Windows-1252"

... html text ...

Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="WP_xxxxxxxx_001.jpg"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="WP_xxxxxxxx_001.jpg"

Kmail or the N9 mail app doing it right and show only one text part.
